Is it possible to retrieve a unit's tooltip/description via triggers.

For example, retrieving a Zealots's button tooltip.

Powerful melee warrior.<n/><n/><c val="ffff8a">Can attack ground units.</c>

Try to use the catalog functions to receive the information.

Thank you, could you please elaborate a bit more?

I don't see a getdata catalog function.

Using the Convert Game Text function together with catalog field value get:

        Debug - Display (Text((Value of Units Zealot Description for player Any Player))) as debug output using Type 01, and Do display it in the game window
        Debug - Display (Game text for (Value of Units Zealot Description for player Any Player)) as debug output using Type 01, and Do display it in the game window

Prints:

00:00:00.00 Button/Tooltip/Zealot
00:00:00.00 Powerful melee warrior.  <c val="ffff8a">Can attack ground units.</c>

Catalog Field Value get returns

Button/Tooltip/Zealot

which then can be passed into the Convert Game Text function, which will convert it to:

Powerful melee warrior.  <c val="ffff8a">Can attack ground units.</c>

Note that this function will return a text and will return a different result based on the players locale.
